Billions and Billions.com/Leo Triplet
The Leo Triplet is from left: NGC 3628 The Hamburger, M65 at top right, and M66 below. This exquisite and varied set of triplets lies in the constellation Leo the Lion. Estimated at 35,000,000 light-years from Earth, the trio are true interacting neighbors and are likely linked with two other nearby Messier galaxies. A large format print will be featured in 2012's Starstruck exhibition. Click for a larger version or return to the Gallery
